Measure created with same name mistakenly causes Power BI Desktop stuck

Hi there,

I noticed, if I create a measure mistakely with a name which already exists in my report, Power BI prompts with a message to choose different name but does not allow to click OK button or go back to fix it. But freezes there until I kill the Power BI Desktop using task manager.

Could you fix this bug?

Thank youEnd task.PNG

@Anonymous , It happens pretty often with me, I do not remember I killed power bi for that. Please check is there any other process taking too much memory and power bi running low on memory.

 

Increase data management cache size and clear cache from option under options and setting
